Getting Started

You can do quite a bit with a website powered by Fwebpages. So let’s do it.

Fwebpages can manage several types of content for you, including Posts, Pages and Links.

• Posts are your basic time-driven content and are used for standard blog entries.example: news.
• Pages are basically posts that aren’t time-driven—they’re added to the menu and serve as the basic meat of your site.example About us page
• Links are just that—links. This can be handy for a list of recommended services or helpful sites.

Make the Big Decisions
Before diving in you need to sit down and make some big decisions. If you don’t think things through now, you may end up regretting it later. The biggest thing to figure out is what you actually need your website to do. What kind of content do you need to manage?

• Do you need posts? (Maybe you don’t need one of those fancy blogs, but do you need a news section?)
• How many pages do you need?
• Will those pages have a hierarchy? (Do you just have five pages, or do you have a dozen pages where some will be filed under others?)
• What do you want to feature on the homepage? (This could be basic intro text that doesn’t change or it could be your latest news or it could be highlights from within your site)

These are the kinds of questions you need to answer. Basically you’re trying to figure out what you need from your website. Once you have that sorted out, it’s easier complete your website setup.

Put Your Site Together
Iit’s time to build your site.

• Basic details like your site’s name and tagline can be edited by double clicking on it(Login required).
• Go to Write: Page (or Write a New Page from the Dashboard) to start adding pages to your site. While editing a page look under Advanced Options for Page Parent and Page Order to change the hierarchy and order of your pages.
• If you’re using a blog (or a news section) go to Write: Post to start populating your site with content.
• Under Design: Widgets you can customize the sidebar or feature areas of your theme.

Keep it Maintained
Once your site is up and running you just have to keep it going. Update your news or blog frequently, change out features or highlights and keep your static content up to date.

Updates are a breeze, thanks to Fwebpages, which means you can spend more time on your content and less time pretending to be a techie.
